Thursday, June 13, 2024 - There was drama at Makadara Law Courts in Nairobi after a senior police officer shot and wounded Principal Magistrate Monica Kivuti.
The incident happened
after the Magistrate delivered a ruling in a case involving the wife of the
senior officer.
The disgruntled senior
officer, who is an Officer Commanding Station in Kisumu, had travelled to Nairobi to attend to a case where
his wife was a suspect.
His wife wanted to be released pending a hearing and
determination of the case.
However, the magistrate denied her bond.
The
court was sitting in a tent outside the main court precincts.
Soon
after the magistrate had ruled on the matter, the officer went behind the tent
and shot the magistrate in the thigh.
Nairobi
police boss Adamson Bungei confirmed the incident and said other officers who
were present responded and killed the police officer after a gun battle.
Another
member of the public was injured in the drama.
Both the magistrate and the other victim were rushed to hospital in serious condition after the 2 pm incident.
